Guanajuato has a rich history not just because of its silver mines that made the state into one of the most prosperous in Mexico , but also because the Independence movement began in this area in 1810. Considering its mixed origins of rebellious revolution & precious mineral mania , this town has to be one of the happiest peaceful prettiest places i have ever visited.
A thriving university supplies a lively fraternity of students who take part in the annual Cervantino Festival. This festival honours the work of Spanish writer Miguel Cervantes and has become one of the foremost arts exchange extravaganzas in Mexico with artists musicians & street theatre performers coming from all over the world. It is a gorgeous little town of about 70,000, enjoying a wonderful climate at an elevation of 2017m. Worth more than a visit. I am going back.
